Vinyl

Vinyl is the most common and affordable mattress encasing available, however, it is also the most uncomfortable as it is often loud, hot, and hard. Most people will recommend using the vinyl encasing on your box spring. It is for this purpose that we offer the line of Vinyl boxspring encasings.

Polyurethane Laminates

These are considered the next best allergy bedding and can be found at any common department store at a reasonable price. This type of bedding is a fabric fused with plastic to make it stronger. Similarly to vinyl, it is somewhat stiff, which causes it to be uncomfortable. It is also nonporous so there is no breathability. The biggest issue with these encasings is that the plastic will often separate from the fabric, causing you to replace them fairly often.

Microfiber

Microfiber encasings are the most expensive as they use the most up to date technology and fabrics to make them so high tech. They are the most comfortable, with great breathability, however, even with microfiber encasings, there are good and bad variations. Microfiber fabric must be about 2-6 microns large to efficiently block the allergens. Many encasings are around 10 microns large which will not block all allergens, causing the encasing to be less efficient.

Allergy encasings come in many different fabrics, styles and sizes; the key is to do your research to see which one best fits your needs and lifestyle.

We offer two lines of microfiber encasings:

Our Pristine® Basic line offers an economical way to provide microfiber-grade protection together with a comfortable environment.

Our Pristine® PREMIUM line is made of the highest standard woven microfiber. It has a smoother texture and a smaller pore size than Pristine® Basic, offers the best possible protection and the ultimate in comfort.
